Peacebuilding & Advocacy Volunteering

The Peacebuilding & Advocacy Program at Hope and Care for Development (HCD) focuses on strengthening social cohesion, promoting dialogue, and empowering communities to build lasting peace in Western Equatoria State. Volunteers in this program play a vital role in supporting reconciliation efforts, raising awareness on human rights, and helping communities recover from the impact of conflict.

​

Through community dialogues, peace workshops, and advocacy campaigns, volunteers help create safe spaces where women, youth, traditional leaders, and vulnerable groups can voice their concerns and work together toward solutions. The program also promotes conflict sensitivity, trauma awareness, and positive communication as essential tools for rebuilding trust.

​

By joining this initiative, volunteers contribute to reducing violence, fostering mutual understanding, and supporting inclusive decision-making at the local level. Their efforts help communities transition from division to unity, ensuring that peace is not only restored—but sustained.

​

At HCD, we believe that every act of compassion and every conversation rooted in respect can plant a seed of lasting peace. Volunteers are therefore essential partners in nurturing hope, advocating for justice, and cultivating meaningful change.
